"A show of quick wit &
intelligent trickery, seamlessly
held together by Michael's
unique take on life."

"Michael Misko - Magician.
Comedian. Cracker of Wise. brings you a unique blend of deft
sleight-of-hand magic and charming, wry, comedy...peppered
with a hefty dose of rapier wit! Michael's brand of comedy
magic is fast-paced, non-stop and squeaky clean. In this
action-packed evening of side-splitting comedy and
world-class sleight-of-hand, there promises to be more fun,
amazement, and good-humored jocularity than there are
hyphens in this paragraph!"

Michael's incredible
sleight-of-hand skills and hysterical comic timing
and squeaky clean act has made him a fan favorite
wherever he goes.

Michael caught the magic bug from his grandfather when he
was six years old. It became an insatiable hobby that
carried him through his formative years, high school and
even helped pay for a little bit of college. With his
Musical Theatre B.F.A. from Shenandoah University in
Winchester, VA, Michael's greatest asset is the ability to
combine sleight of hand technique and theatrical motivation
to form a seamless evening of inspired, skilled, and
entertaining magic.

After graduation, Magic and Theatre walked hand in hand, one
job typically giving way to another. In 2015, Michael's two
loves combined; he was hand-picked to create the role of the
"Magic Maker" in the World Premiere of Stephen Schwartz's Magic
To Do on board Princess Cruises

During this intense workshop process, Michael had the
opportunity to work directly with Stephen Schwartz (Wicked,
Godspell), as well as a Broadway creative team,
including Gabriel Barre (Amazing Grace, Andrew
Lippa's The Wild Party), Jennifer Paulson Lee (Annie
Get Your Gun, Wonderful Town), and Mark
Hartman (Sondheim on Sondheim, Avenue Q). Rounding
out the brilliant lineup was living magic legend, Jim
Steinmeyer (Disney's Beauty and the Beast, Disney's Aladin),
with whom Michael had the pleasure of working and crafting
some of the show's most technically demanding magical
moments.

In January of 2016, Princess
embarked on an industry first and invited the original cast
of Magic To Do to record the Original Cast Album; this is
unparalleled in the cruise ship industry. The album can be
purchased on iTunes or Amazon.

Currently, Michael still works with Princess
Cruises, performing Magic To Do every voyage in
the Princess Theatre in tandem with his solo, stand-up,
show

Micheal is no stranger to Strand
audiences. His hysterical comic timing was on
full display in 2014 when he played 'Bumble' in Oliver!
The Musical; The Strand's inaugural
full-cast, full-length musical. We are very
excited to welcome him back for his solo magic
and comedy show which has won rave reviews by
audience and venues everywhere that he's
performed!
